  • Babasaheb Ambedkar was regarded as a Buddhist guru because of his great influence in India to eradicate the social scourge of untouchability. 
  • Ambedkar’s admirers and followers believe he was as influential as Lord Buddha, which is why his death anniversary is celebrated as Mahaparinirvana Divas.
